Jun 15 15:33:08 MrTomLapy	!
Jun 15 15:33:28 mspevack	tchung: nothing more than I added on the list -- localized coolstuff and swag is a problem we're working on
Jun 15 15:33:45 mspevack	no one should have to pay that much money on shipping
Jun 15 15:34:01 *	nexus (n=nexus@85.65.245.204.dynamic.barak-online.net) has joined #fedora-mktg
Jun 15 15:34:18 tchung	mspevack, eof?
Jun 15 15:34:36 mspevack	tchung: yes, eof
Jun 15 15:34:37 tchung	> GeroldKa 
Jun 15 15:34:39 GeroldKa	it's gone, thanks and eof :-)
Jun 15 15:34:45 tchung	> MrTomLapy 
Jun 15 15:34:57 MrTomLapy	I think the list is doing its job about this as mspevack just said, but even with the european store, shipping remains expensive (about $25)
Jun 15 15:35:20 MrTomLapy	eof
Jun 15 15:36:15 tchung	mspevack, is there anyway we can contact Branfuel regarding shipping cost issue?
Jun 15 15:36:55 mspevack	tchung: sure, one of us can give them a call
Jun 15 15:37:05 mspevack	tchung: put that down with my name next to it
Jun 15 15:37:27 tchung	got it!. Action item for mspevack. :)
Jun 15 15:37:29 MrTomLapy	thanks mspevack
Jun 15 15:37:30 mspevack	eof
Jun 15 15:37:53 tchung	Ok. Is there anything else would like to discuss?
Jun 15 15:38:05 kOoLiNuS	sorry to bug, not an ambassador, but, can i have a link to the "Cool Stuff Store" and on the kind of "fedora stuff" to produce locally ?
Jun 15 15:38:28 tchung	kOoLiNuS, see FWN Issue 50. :)
Jun 15 15:38:37 glezos	!
Jun 15 15:38:51 tchung	http://redhat.brandfuelstores.com/
Jun 15 15:38:59 tchung	then click on "Fedora" link
Jun 15 15:39:06 tchung	> glezos 
Jun 15 15:39:31 glezos	A way to reduce shipping costs would be to organize a way that one ambassador could receive a parcel from the UK (or local) shop and ship it to the other people in his country
Jun 15 15:39:34 *	nexus has quit (Remote closed the connection)
Jun 15 15:40:12 tchung	glezos, yes, we discuss about that in the list already.
Jun 15 15:40:22 glezos	ok. eof
Jun 15 15:40:24 kOoLiNuS	!
Jun 15 15:40:35 tchung	However the right thing to do at this point  is..
Jun 15 15:40:57 *	fabian_a has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
Jun 15 15:41:04 tchung	Let our Ambassadors's rep to contact the Vendor to discuss the shipping cost issue.
Jun 15 15:41:04 tchung	eof
Jun 15 15:41:10 tchung	> kOoLiNuS 
Jun 15 15:41:14 kOoLiNuS	tchung, ok .... on the Free Media
Jun 15 15:41:36 kOoLiNuS	on a fedora site in italy we had a "program" to give cd/dvd of FC to users
Jun 15 15:41:44 kOoLiNuS	by users at cd + shipping cost
Jun 15 15:41:57 kOoLiNuS	circa 5 euros total = 6 dollars US
Jun 15 15:42:06 kOoLiNuS	could be an initiative to "start"
Jun 15 15:42:19 kOoLiNuS	eof
Jun 15 15:42:51 tchung	kOoLiNuS, that won't qualify as a FreeMedia Program since you're still charging for the shipping.
Jun 15 15:43:17 tchung	The program or vendor should be listed in our OnlineVendors list instead.
Jun 15 15:43:30 kOoLiNuS	i know but still was a cheap way to distribure medias
Jun 15 15:43:36 kOoLiNuS	ok
Jun 15 15:43:59 tchung	Ok. now any other issue or question before we close our meeting?
Jun 15 15:44:19 CincyPat	!
Jun 15 15:44:23 tchung	> CincyPat 
Jun 15 15:44:40 CincyPat	Where can the famco-list be found?
Jun 15 15:44:50 *	stickster is now known as stickster_afk
Jun 15 15:44:57 tchung	http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee
Jun 15 15:45:13 CincyPat	Thanks :) eof
Jun 15 15:45:41 tchung	Please see http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/famsco-list
Jun 15 15:45:50 tchung	Aright then.
Jun 15 15:46:04 tchung	Thank you all for coming..
Jun 15 15:46:07 tchung	=== meeting adjourned ===
Jun 15 15:46:17 FrancescoUgolini	nite
